Reply to comment by KeeblerElvis in Anyone else make the mistake of going to American Dream today? by brantlyr

American Dream is a great mall. What malls do you prefer instead? You seem just like a sour scrooge. Most people shouldn’t listen to you.

Not a scrooge, just tired of malls. I live about a mile from the Garden State Plaza, so sitting in traffic to go to a different mall doesn't make sense to me. Paramus Park has easy parking, too.

Easy parking, not a lot to offer, although I guess that’s the point. Paramus Park gears more towards locals, whereas American Dream caters to tourists & people from NY.

Yeah, at this point it's just a Reddit parrot/popular thing for upvotes to just trash a thing.

I've enjoyed my visits to American Dream. It's not for everyone. People can hate malls, it's fine, but it's almost too excessive at this point.

Agreed exactly. And if they don’t like the place, then they shouldn’t go. They shouldn’t ruin it for others.

Why would I ever go to a mall? If I want to walk, I can walk around my town's downtown area. If I want to buy some clothes, I buy it on the internet. If it doesn't fit, every place has free returns. Malls should close and be replaced with parks or something.

Why would anyone else NOT go to a mall? Just because you like something else, doesn’t mean everyone else likes it either

Why not go to the mall?

  • I can support local businesses instead
  • I can buy the same shit usually for cheaper online
  • I can save on gas, tolls, and parking
  • I won't get trapped in a parking garage
  • I don't have to look for a parking spot
  • There's no waiting on line at Macy's for the one register
  • One word: teenagers
  • They frown when you drink at the mall, but I can drink while I shop at home

Then go do that. Other people still like going to the mall. And that includes me. Now you go ahead and stay away from the malls then.
